3. Tomlinson Will Remain With One Direction

Some fans are worried that this news will split up the band, but have no fear. Tomlinson will not desert his band-mates. In fact, this news may even boost sales for the band, which we’re sure is what they’re hoping. Nonetheless, it’s not like this popular boy band needs any help in the sales department.

In fact, they have a movie coming out at the end of this month! Check out the trailer for 1D: This Is Us below.

4. Jersey Number 28 Will Belong to Louis

For the season, Louis will be wearing the number 28 on his back as he plays for his hometown “football club” the Doncaster Rovers. The Rovers should start marketing that number right away because Louis Tomlinson already has soccer fans.

If you'll be sportin' a number 28 jersey to support Louis and his charity, share it!

The band’s website notes Tomlinson as saying:
